When I first started I had it @ 3.4ghz but it was unlinked so I didn't have the 1:1 ratio many people talk about...decided to do 1:1 so I can be like everyone else

I lowered my multi to 7 so I could get the required 1:1 ratio

Well here are my settings using a E6600 + 650i + Firestix

CPU voltage = 1.37
Memory voltage 2.08
Northbridge voltage 1.739

FSB = 475 (or 1900 as it says in the bios...1900/4 = 475x7 = 3.325)

Memory = 475 (x2) = 950 @ 4 4 4 12 2T

Don't know if that explains anything but those are my settings...what you should do is this

To get 1:1 you need your FSB to be 400 (400x4 = 1600 or 400x9 = 3600)
I don't know if you want to oc to 3.6ghz so lower your multi to 8 (stock is 9)

Put the FSB to 400 which will get you 3.2ghz (400x8 = 3200)
Memory should be running @ 400x2 = 800 so that's 1:1

Try to do this at the stock voltage (1.325). If it freezes go back and increase the voltage until it's stable
